People who live in New Jersey have likely heard enough complaints about living there from their neighbors and people who live elsewhere.

A question posed on Reddit asked how to change that. A thread posted Monday asked how to improve New Jersey. Right off the bat, the post asked for suggestions other than the seemingly obvious solutions of lower taxes and improvements on NJ Transit.

The top comment mentioned mixing asphalt with old tires to help roads last longer. The Redditor cited a Phys.org article that described a more resilient concrete that consists partially of recycled tires.
